Project Brief

To keep up with the must haves of modern travelers and to revolutionize the guest experience, SFO is redeveloping Terminal 1 (T1). Developed in the early 1960s, T1 has become less efficient in its operations when managing the millions of passengers each year. During the programming phase, an intensive concessions study and visioning workshops were conducted, driven by the joint commitment that 100% of passengers pass through 100% of the concessions.

Project Innovation/Need

Architecture and interior design strategies are based on REACH principles, T1 Vision, and SFO’s Reaching for #1. The programming scope, now complete, entailed extensive engagement with all stakeholder groups through the SEP process to enable discovery and build consensus.
